December 20, 2013 14:05

Talent scouts from the lucrative Indian Premier League will reportedly be watching every game of this season''s Big Bash League in Australia in order to target potential players for the major auction, which would be held next February.

he timing of the BBL, which starts on Friday and has its semi-finals just days before the mooted February 12-13 dates of the auction, is perfect for Australia's Twenty20 stars.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, David Warner, Mitchell Johnson and Shane Watson are set to be the most sought-after Australians by IPL franchises, if they are released by their current teams, and certain reports suggested that James Faulkner will also attract attention from the IPL franchises.
